| 111.1 | Where to Get CONV_FCC_TO_FF | AKOV12::BIBEAULT | Unlimited Possibilities | Thu Aug 11 1988 09:36 | 12 |
|
See note 109:109.1 for explanation of and source code for program
to convert Fortran Carriage Control Report to one using standard
formfeed characters.
The COBOL program provided in note 109.1 will generate the
CONV_FCC_TO_FF executable run in the above procedure.
Any should there be any questions, problems or concerns, please
feel free to contact Bob Bibeault @ dtn 244-6136.

| 111.2 | Yes, but... | OFFPLS::RYAN | | Thu Aug 11 1988 17:21 | 12 |
| No offense, but why not use v5.2 -FORMAT DOC- which eliminates the
need to do this outside of FOCUS? This is documented in the 5.2.
This is a lot easier since a program can look like this:
FILEDEF WHATEVER DISK REPORT.DOC
TABLE FILE X
PRINT X Y Z
BY A PAGE-BREAK
ON TABLE HOLD AS WHATEVER FORMAT DOC
END
-RPR-

| 111.3 | Version 1.31A has it to | SUBURB::LINNELLA | | Fri Aug 12 1988 04:11 | 8 |
| The FORMAT DOC command (-.1) is actual present in version 1.31A but is
not documented.
I use it all the time.
Just a thought.

| 111.4 | Where Documented, Live Examples? | AKOV12::BIBEAULT | Unlimited Possibilities | Fri Aug 12 1988 12:39 | 17 |

Where in the Focus manuals is FORMAT DOC documented? I have a complete
set of Focus 5.2 user manuals and course materials and the index
shows only the following formats as available: ALPHA, BINARY, CALC,
DIF, LOTUS, WP. DOC is simply not listed under the topic 'Formats
of Extract Files'. It also is not found within the text as far as
I can tell.
Where in the Focus manuals does it tell you how to generate a report
with the FORMFEED character to drive pagination? I can't find it
nor can anyone I've talked to at IBI tell me.
If you have found a way to accomplish generating FORMFEED page-breaks
WITHOUT leaving Focus, please let us all know how to do it and where
we can get copies of your .fex, .mas and data files to test it out...
I am most anxious to be convinced...

| 111.5 | OK - Release 5.2 New Features Manual | SUBURB::LINNELLA | | Mon Aug 15 1988 06:14 | 60 |
| No problem.
This is documented in a publication called "Release 5.2 New Features",
which I obtained from IB in the UK. I quote from it now.
"
5.3
The HOLD File
HOLD file format will now default to BINARY in Release 5.2.
SET HOLDDEFAULT= BINARY or ALPHA controls the output format.
Also, FOCUS provides the abilityto retrieve and process data, then hold
the results for further processing. FOCUS Release 5.2 enhances this
feature to produce a data file that contains WPS formfeed characters. A
new FORMAT option of DOC is provided for this purpose.
The syntax is:
ON TABLE HOLD [AS filename] FORMAT DOC
or
HOLD [AS filename] FORMAT DOC
where:
DOC
Caputures the entire report output including headings. footings,
subtotals, ect., and adds WPS formfeeds characters. This file can
then be used directly by a word processing software.
Unlike WP format which produces FORTRAN carriage controls, DOC format
produces a record attribute of carrage return carriage control.
Therefore you could use WP and DOC format if you simply wanted to
print the HOLD file. You should, however, use DOC format if you
plan to use the HOLD file additional editing.
The resulting DOC FORMAT HOLD file has a file has a file extension
of DOC.
"
This was taken from page 5-3/4.
The DOC command gives me a file with formfeed charcters in it ie.
<CTRL>L for page breaks.
It works in version 5.2 and also 1.31A the A is important as 1.3
didn't have this feature.
Try it out with ANY file and use SEDT ot EDT to examin the output.
Cheers
Adam
